New project on freshwater mussels

Congratulations to Alexandra Zieritz, Postdoc in the School of Geography who was awarded funding from the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund to map the species distributions of freshwater mussels in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo

The aim of the project is to develop a National Red List and a booklet about Malaysian mussels to help in identifying conservation priorities for these species which are not yet widely studied in Malaysia.
